Mother's Day at the Beach

Description

For my mother - 5 years ago...

Bryce for the Ocean, Beach and Sky, RayDream for the objects - PC & Mac


My mother has always loved to travel to the Caribbean. She cant partake of her love of travelling there as she was disabled through an accident at work. Ironically enough she was a Surgical/Trauma nurse and was injured racing to a new intake of fatally injured patients in Triage one fateful evening... She wanted something that she could look at from time to time to lift her spirits and that represented 'her'; so I did this around Mother's Day 2001.

This was the first and last time I attempted anything remotely detailed besides experimenting with waterscapes and skies in Bryce. I'd had RayDream for an age (and still do) - and found it easier to create and work with objects there, especially the Philadelphia Hoagie and Frank's Soda for the picnic.

Everything you see is what Mom wanted in her 'picture'.

It was easy enough to import RayDream objects into my Bryce libraries so here you have a Ray Bryce collab...

Its not very complicated, I know. It wasn't meant to be.

But for my mother it was just what she wanted... and that marked a turning of sorts in our relationship; especially as she'd never taken my career in Graphic Design very seriously until then...

I am thinking of updating this... perhaps through digital painting...
